So you just orderd mounts, clutch masters and fuel rail fitting from hinson? I wanted to get all clutch hyrdo stuff from them 2. I see that all the other parts summit will probably be my friend but i want all the real custom stuff to be ordered together from hinson.

 

On the fuel rail fitting- you can get a pair of rails with AN fittings and have a traditional return style setup. You can usually find these rails for around $125 for sale used @ ls1tech.com

I think Owen said he saw a barbed fuel rail fitting for $15 or something at Napa. I'd definitely go for that instead of the $40 fitting.

 

hey fat owen,

thanks for the spreadsheet writeup. now, do you have a writeup for the LS1 FC swap?

i must say, that beast is pretty dammmmmmmmm good

 

hey thanks.
nah, no time for a complete how-to writeup but my pics onlne should help you or anyone thru the LS1FC buildup. PM me if you have any specific questions.

 

Great to see your car on here too Owen(this is rochesterricer from H-T and RM).

Last time I saw, I think you had a couple small issues left to work out. Have you managed to get to them yet?

 

the car was on the road for a month or so, I love it so much, it seriously hauls ***.

now I've got a clutch problem, I think the new master needs to be adjusted, where the rod threads onto the pedal assembly... or it needs to be re-bled. it seemed the pedal engagement point was farther to the floor the last week I drove it, then after it sat for a week while we had snow, I tried to move it and it wont shift while the engine is running... clutch/hydraulic issue. so, hopefully I didnt **** anything up like the slave or a release bearing thing-a-majig. I should really drop the tranny before the springtime in order to fix the 3rd gear problem so this isnt a big issue just yet... especially with snow on the ground right now.

the other things to work on are:
cleaning up the wiring, mostly in the cabin
rolling the fenders to fit some larger tires... 245's and 275's
possibly buying longtube headers
shrouding the radiator so it works well in the summertime
alignment with a cornerweight
